Although FEV1 cannot be measured in rats, measurements of increased airway resistance and decreased compliance are accepted indicators of airway obstruction in rodents.[18] In the setting of DA induced BO we observed significantly increased airway resistance and decreased compliance.
The present study was performed to determine if an association could be found between objective measurements of increased ROM and subjective parameters of ability to complete activities of daily living, pain, feel of the knee and satisfaction with the knee when high degrees of flexion (beyond 110 degrees) are achieved after TKA.
Studies on A. maculatum by Turtle (2000) and Brady (2012) did not directly test the effects of road deicing salts, but rather compared survival in roadside versus woodland ponds, and correlated this with field measurements of increased salinity in roadside ponds.
Feather production costs, estimated from measurement of increases in basal metabolic rate throughout the molt period, show up to ten-fold variation between species.
This kit is based on the measurement of increased caspase 3/7 activity.
The measurement of increased morning pCO2 requires blood sampling by a health care professional.
Among subjects with symptomatic knee OA, a single measurement of increased COMP predicted subsequent cartilage loss on MRI.
Consequently, measurement of increased soil exposure is limited by the magnitude of this exposure relative to background sources of inorganic arsenic.
As shown in Figure 1, the formation of AGEs was observed weekly by the measurement of increasing fluorescent intensity in fructose-glycated BSA.
Chaperone production is also upregulated in response to increased misfolding, and measurement of increased chaperone production, particularly HSPA5 (also called BIP or GRP78), is commonly used as a marker of ER stress (Kozutsumi et al., 1988; Kroeger et al., 2012).
